Rani Mukherji gave this advice to Parineeti Chopra

In the show, Parineeti Chopra stated, “Everything had changed in a day. I remember that I was working as a manager for Rani Mukherji, because her manager was busy working for some other actor. I was on the sets of ‘Bigg Boss’ with her. She told me that you are Priyanka Chopra’s cousin. Why are you not an actress? I said no, ma’am I don’t want to become an actress, but then she said that you will become a good actress.”

Casting director auditioned Parineeti Chopra

On the following day, filmmaker Maneesh Sharma sent Parineeti to casting director Shanoo Sharma’s house. She shot an audition clip of Parineeti, in which the actress performed a scene from Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Jab We Met’.
